Rainbow....

They say that God gave us the rainbow as a PROMISE HE will not bring destruction to the earth as He did during Noah's time, as He was so grieved and displeased with the actions of men. To me, sighting the rainbow this morning was God telling me He is pleased with what i am doing. There was a time when i served the Lord and i wondered and wanted to check my heart if i was being right in doing the things i was doing. Was i faithfully doing things He wanted me to do, so as i prayed and asked God, I asked Him to show me a rainbow if i was doing the right thing. So this morning, when i see a rainbow i will know i am doing the right things and not doing things righteously.

i was in 2 minds about going to visit my childhood friend for the holiday season. A bit of "did not want to make the effort", a bit of "no need la" attitude. Then, i recalled the sermon over the weekend and also remember how God wants us to demonstrate His love, be His channel of blessing to others so that He will be glorified. i baked the cake, and made the pineapple tarts, and shush.... forgot to take the pictures, but it was indeed a pretty sight, with my red organza tied with the pineapple tarts in a nice re cycled box and my heart shaped butter cake as a gift when i visited her. i shared with my friend about how God's word ministered to me in so many aspects of my daily living. i shared with her proverbs 19:11 where God showed me how and why i should overlook an offense. i sowed His seeds and word of God to my muslim friend, whilst being sensitive and still glorifying my God, no apologies needed. When a few other friends came, our chat nicely closed. What perfect timing God has so that I will sow, but not overwhelm as He knows the evangelistic nature in me could go on and on... We had lunch.....a few ladies and some non believers.

The very same evening i called upon my girl friends and we had fellowship in my house, we had a ball with Scrabble and a repeat of Taboo.......i was truly truly almost rolling on the floor as i held my tummy and bladder. As i spent time this morning, the devotion was about being matured, it was that we are to be infants of things of evil, but matured in the word of God. How great God is, an as i opened my main door this morning to sit at my patio, the rainbow was in full view of my sight. I said under a whisper, Jesus Thank you, you are pleased with what i have done.........I have loved others as you have loved me, never mind about whether they will ever receive you, it is your job, not mine. It is the work of the Holy Spirit. As i just returned from giving courage to a friend to move and make a decision, as i continue to sit at the porch and enjoying the breeze, i thank you Lord for the rainbow... i thank you my daughter arrived back safely yesterday from Perth, and having a good rest. I thank you my first born is at peace and the family she lives with there show love in their own ways.........I thank you Lord because you are good.......all the time....In your son's most precious name, I THANK YOU........
